Remember Biden vs Ryan. Joe obliterated him!
------
October 12, 2012
Vice President Joe Biden effectively made the case for a second Obama term, leaving Paul Ryan back on his heels, says Todd S. Purdum.
So many assessments of the vice president (including this one!) begin with that sentimentand go on to sing his praises. His performance in the debate against Paul Ryan illustrates why.
But in a mirror image of last weeks Mile High triumph for Mitt Romney, it was Ryan who kept his head down and looked to his notes. He is no dope, and he had his moments, and held his own against Bidens relentless attack. But Ryan needed his notes, because he was on the ropes throughout.
